BIO:  Betsy was found as a stray and taken in by a kind family.  They looked for her owners, but nobody claimed her.  That was for the best because she had not been well cared for.  Her nails were very long and her teeth were in terrible shape.  Betsy went to the vet and got a pedicure and all of her remaining teeth were removed.  She is feeling much better and is now in very good health.  She loves dinner time and does a little happy dance when she sees her food bowl!  She has no problem eating soft food.  

Betsy is a very nice little dog!  She gets along with other dogs, cats, and people.  Because of her tiny size, she would do best with older children who understand that they must be gentle with her.  Betsy would be fine as an only dog or with another friendly small dog.  Betsy is housebroken and will use a pee pad if left for extended periods.  She is also crate trained.  At night she will sleep in a crate or dog bed, but would prefer to sleep with her people.  She enjoys walks and sitting in a lap.  You never need to look far to find little Betsy, because she will be your shadow!

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
